Trevor Donovan Leaves ‘90210’

The 32-year-old actor will not be returning as a series regular when the hit CW show returns next fall, TV Line reports. (A spokesperson for the network declined to comment.)

“I look back on getting this real-life story line as a blessing,” Donovan, who joined the show in 2009, said in a statement. “To be able to simultaneously take on a challenging role and bring awareness to a relevant social issue was a win-win for me. I’m looking forward to what opportunities and adventures lie ahead.”

Donovan’s character was the subject of a major coming out storyline during the show’s third season: his character, Teddy, had previously dated Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) and Silver (Jessica Stroup) before beginning a relationship with Ian (Kyle Riabko).

Fortunately for Donovan’s fans, the actor tweeted that he will return as a guest star for “a handful of shows” when his costars’ characters begin college in season 4.
